ASML stock sinks despite strong Q2 results
In the second quarter, ASML reported a net income of approximately 2.66 billion US dollars and revenue of around 8.95 billion euros. This surpassed analyst expectations of a profit of 2.04 billion euros on sales of 7.52 billion euros. Sales increased by nearly 23% compared to the same period last year, and the company achieved a gross margin of 53.7%. The tech firm has been experiencing demand growth due to equipment sales for AI chip manufacturing. However, the management expressed a cautious view regarding next year’s performance.
What’s next for ASML?
Following an impressive second-quarter showing, ASML anticipates a 15% increase in annual revenue and a gross margin of around 52% for this year. However, despite these figures potentially triggering a growth in valuation, management has expressed uncertainty about the business’s expansion prospects for next year. Due to tariffs, broader economic uncertainties, and geopolitical risks, ASML is hesitant to predict a sales increase in 2023. Consequently, investors are offloading their shares due to the downbeat forecast.
